Dr. Horrible-What Joss Whedon does when he is bored [SPOILERS]

Wow I found this gem while randomly surfing, I'll let Newsrama tell you about it instead of me.
It’s been just under seven years since “Once More, With Feeling,” the musical episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired, and this week, Joss Whedon (and friends) enter the realm of musical drama with Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.

The three-part online event begins tomorrow, Tuesday July 15th, with Act One. Act Two goes up on Thursday July 17th, and Act Three will go up Saturday July 19th at http://www.drhorrible.com/. The streaming video will all be online and free through midnight July 20th, when they come down...but more on that later.

    It starts very boring but picks up after a few minutes. Ends quite well too, which is nice.

    Yeah, it picked up at the first musical number for me, and as soon as a preening Nathan Fillion landed on that van I was won over.

    Yeah, that pretty much sells me on it as well.

    He's doing voice work for a Wonderwoman animated feature that's previewed on the Gotham Knight dvd.

    I'll probably be getting that as well for the same reason. (okay, and because I could listen to Keri Russell all day long. *swoon*)

    Yeah, it'd only be against the strike if Joss had sold the script or the end product to a studio.

    No, you weren't supposed to be selling your work/working with studios. A few writers actually liked that they had the opportunity to work on things that they wanted to and weren't required to be done in a week so that the next episode of "Show X" could start filming.

    It wasn't a strike against writing. It was a strike against the studios trying to fuck the writers out of digital distribution (among other things).
